Substrate-specific outer membrane channels of Gram-negative bacteria mediate uptake of
many small molecules, including carbohydrates. The mechanism of sugar uptake by …

The three-dimensional structure of the maltooligosaccharide specific outer membrane
channel LamB ofEscherichia coli complexed with sugar molecules revealed a hypothetical …

LamB (maltoporin) is essential for the uptake of maltose and malto-oligosaccharides across
the outer membrane ofEscherichia coli. Purified LamB was reconstituted in artificial lipid …

Sugar transport through maltoporin of Escherichia coli was investigated. This protein
facilitates maltooligosaccharide translocation via a binding site in the channel. Because …

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria provides an effective barrier to their
often-harsh extracellular milieu. In particular, the outer leaflet of the OM is not a canonical …

Porins mediate the uptake of nutrients across the outer membrane of Gram-negative
bacteria. For general porins like OmpF, electrophysicoloigcal experiments now establish that …

Many Gram-negative bacteria, including human pathogens such as Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, do not have large-channel porins. This results in an outer membrane (OM) that …

The 3D-structure of the maltooligosaccharide-specific LamB-channel of Escherichia coli
(also called maltoporin) is known from X-ray crystallography. The 3D structure suggests that …

The Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane contains several independent, biochemically
distinct transport systems for the acquisition of solutes from the environment. Three or more …
